folks ye all are frightening the bejaysus out of me here haha, are these bikes that badly made and take huge maintenance to keep on the road,
 
No..... But expect dirty hands once in a while :-) Not to be owned by anyone without a set of tools.....
 
Good news is lots of spares readily available for basically all components from various retailers. Do expect to pay out fair amounts as you get into sorting unknown condition items. Like layshaft bearing, head and carb work. Much knowledge can be had off this site for the asking.
 
I have a ‘72 750 , lovely bike while maybe not as practical as the one you have posted .... it always makes me smile and has yet to leave me stranded ..... only Sunday morning rides though , not Japan here , but Italians which have been much more reliable than rumoured ..... I like your bike ! , buy it and deal with the issues as they come up , if I can keep mine on the road , you ,with your experience will have no problem .... welcome aboard !
 
I'm 99% sure this bike was offered for sale at www.oldmotorcycleshop.com in Calgary Alberta a few weeks ago. The asking price was very reasonable. I have never heard anything negative about the shop that was offering it for sale. With a 4295 sales on their Ebay store, and a 99.9% positive rating, I'd say that you are in good hands.

In fact I noticed it too ,now that you point it out ... not much mechanical info mentioned there either if I remember correctly .... slow down and have good look see Head ...
 
Will post video in morning folks, she is charging, has 120psi in each cylinder, wheels need respoking , no rust no where , again will post video in morning , I have the bike on hold for now have few days to confirm as he will keep it as sold, no smoke or rattles by the sound of it, no messing with wiring by the look at it
Thanks again folks and hope to get ur feedback in morning

To show video here u have to upload to YouTube or vimeo and hit three vertical dots in posts menu bar and link video.
 
You bought it right? Sounds good to me.

I wish my alternator/regulator worked that well. Only time I see 14V is when the charger is hooked up.

Sounds quite different than othe commandos ive heard. Maybe due to the recording device mic or the unusual pipes. More bark than I hear on others.

As for 14v, seemed that was at around 2k rpm. Should be ok but gotta watch what it does upto 3 or 4k, to ensure the zeners are kicking in to prevent more than 15 volt overcharge. Unless there is a modern Reg/Rec fitted.
If price is right you should bring her home.
